The aim of the study was analysis of short- and long-term results of treating patients operated with intestinal replacement of the urinary bladder by Mintz pouch II and Hasan. Thirty-two ureterosigmostomies with creation of the reservoir from the rectosigmoid angle (17 Mintz pouch II and 15 Abol-Enein operations) were made from 1997-2002. The age of the patients ranged from 16 to 73, the follow-up was 12-72 months. The operation was indicated in infiltrative cancer of the urinary bladder, microcystis of various etiology, extrophy of the urinary bladder. Postoperative urine retention was observed in all the patients both in the day and night time. Renal function remained unchanged or improved in 93% patients. Quality of life was good. All the patients except two with recurrent attacks of pyelonephritis were socially adapted. Able patients resumed their jobs. Early after the operation one woman developed incompetence of the sutures of the reservoir anterior wall which required relaparotomy. Four patients died of local recurrence and/or distant metastases in different terms after surgery. Two patients had reflux with frequent attacks of pyelonephritis as well as a serious impairment of acid-base balance manifesting as hyperchloremic acidosis, the other two patients had late unilateral strictures of the intestinoureteral anastomosis which was reestablished. Thus, updated ureterosigmostomy significantly reduces the rate of complications and is a good alternative to heterotopic and ortotopic urine derivation in contraindications for the operations. Moreover, Hasan's operation allows implantation of delated ureters. In most cases, ureterosigmostomy with formation of reservoir from rectosigmoid angle provides good quality of life in adequate selection of patients.

Bladder cancer originates from bladder tissues and is the ninth most common type of cancer worldwide. The SWI/SNF (SWItch/sucrose non- fermentable) complex plays a crucial role in regulating various biological processes, such as cell cycle control, DNA damage repair and transcription regulation. The purpose of this article is to examine the functional studies of the SWI/SNF complex in bladder cancer, highlighting new pathways for creating personalised treatment approaches for bladder cancer patients with mutations in the SWI/SNF complex.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a prevalent condition leading to male lower urinary tract symptoms (mLUTS), particularly in aging populations. Current management strategies-spanning watchful waiting, pharmaceutical therapy, and surgical interventions such as transurethral resection of the prostate-face significant limitations, including side effects, low adherence, and patient hesitancy toward invasive treatments. First-line interventional therapy (FIT) emerges as a novel paradigm bridging the gap between medications and surgery.

Background: Postoperative spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is a rare but serious complication following lumbar surgery, with cauda equina syndrome (CES) being one of its most devastating outcomes. While CES typically presents with a combination of bladder and/or bowel dysfunction, diminished sensation in the saddle area, and motor or sensory changes in the lower limbs, atypical cases with isolated urinary symptoms are less recognized and pose significant diagnostic challenges.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 46-year-old male who developed CES following lumbar microdiscectomy, presenting solely with urinary retention, without the classic signs of lower limb weakness or perineal sensory loss.

Case Summary: A 13-year-old male castrated domestic shorthair cat presented with a 2-month history of progressive lameness, poor appetite and constipation. Physical examination revealed palpable lesions in muscles of several extremities. Ultrasound examination confirmed the presence of round lesions with a hypo- or anechoic centre within the muscles.

Introduction: Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common lower urinary tract symptom of bladder storage dysfunction. Numerous studies have evaluated the efficacy and safety of acupuncture therapy for overactive bladder, but clinical programs and data were largely inconsistent. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize and analyze the published clinical research data in the field.
